Flash/Swish: Embedding Movies
in Your FP Web OutFront News Article: November 15, 2000
Embedding Your Movie in a
Table Cell
Can you do this? Why - yes you can. Netscape Navigator
3.0 and Internet Explorer 3.0 will accept the
EMBED tag in tables allowing Flash movies to work
in table cells when viewed with browser versions
3.0 and above.
As a special consideration, Macromedia suggests that
when placing movies in table cells, use pixel
values for the width of your cell and avoid using
percent values.
Inserting Flash Movies into
Your FP HTML
To add the necessary tags to your FrontPage HTML, copy
and paste the code below:
Once you have pasted the code, change the height and
width parameters to reflect the height and width
parameters of your
movie.
Then change the "MOVIE" VALUE="moviename.swf"
in the above code to the file name of your actual
movie file or .swf file in both the "object'
and 'embed' tags. The "PLAY",
"LOOP" and "QUALITY" values
are created and set when you publish your movie.
No Embed Tag
The NOEMBED tag defines content within EMBED content
that will be ignored by browsers that can activate
the EMBED plug-in application. Only browsers that
do not understand the EMBED tag will display the
content's of NOEMBED. Because - as stated above- NS
and IE 3.0 + browsers understand the EMBED tag, they
will ignore the contents of the NOEMBED tag.
Place this code before the closing 'object tag' of your
Flash/Swish html:
